In the state 43,44,45 of adaptive cruise control action, if main switch 21 is pressed, then the adaptive cruise control system is closed, and is transformed into state 41.
As mentioned above, in the adaptive cruise control system of first embodiment, utilize the opening/closing that stops to keep system automatically, the control content that adaptive cruise is controlled changes.For this reason, when the state of adaptive cruise control is in the 1st low speed dig tracking state 44 and when being in the 2nd low speed dig tracking state 45, the display mode of telltale 11 is changed.The show state of the telltale 11 under Fig. 5 (a) expression the 1st low speed dig tracking state 44, the show state of the telltale 11 under Fig. 5 (b) expression the 2nd low speed dig tracking state 45.On telltale 11, show average speed indicator, show speed of a motor vehicle zone of carrying out adaptive cruise control and the opening/closing state that stops to keep system automatically simultaneously.
The 1st low speed dig tracking state 44 times, on telltale 11, show the speed of a motor vehicle zone of carrying out adaptive cruise control more than or equal to 5km/h, show that simultaneously stopping the maintenance system automatically is in closed condition.The 1st low speed dig tracking state 44 times, the speed of a motor vehicle zone of carrying out adaptive cruise control is more than or equal to 5km/h and less than 40km/h, if but the speed of a motor vehicle surpasses 40km/h, then be transformed into high-speed region operating state 43, proceed adaptive cruise control.Therefore, here, shown in Fig. 5 (a), the speed of a motor vehicle zone that will carry out adaptive cruise control is shown as 5km/h~100km/h.
The 2nd low speed dig tracking state 45 times, on telltale 11, show the speed of a motor vehicle zone of carrying out adaptive cruise control more than or equal to 0km/h, show simultaneously to stop the maintenance system automatically for opening.Automatically stop the maintenance system for opening with literal " Auto Parking " demonstration.But, with the display mode of the 1st low speed dig tracking state 44 similarly, the speed of a motor vehicle zone upper limit that will carry out adaptive cruise control is shown as 100km/h, rather than 40km/h (with reference to Fig. 5 (b)).
Fig. 6 is illustrated in adaptive cruise control to be under the situation of the 1st low speed dig tracking state 44, utilizes the diagram of circuit of the contents processing that control setup 20 carries out.If adaptive cruise controls transitions to the 1st low speed dig tracking state 44, the then processing of control setup 20 beginning step S10.In step S10, whether judge by the car speed sensor 3 detected speed of a motor vehicle more than or equal to 40km/h.If be judged as the speed of a motor vehicle more than or equal to 40km/h, then enter step S20, carry out the adaptive cruise control under the high-speed region operating state 43.
On the other hand, in step S10,, then enter step S30 if be judged as the speed of a motor vehicle less than 40km/h.In step S30, judge whether main switch 21 is pressed.Be pressed if be judged as main switch 21, then enter step S40.In step S40, the adaptive cruise control system is closed.Thus, adaptive cruise control is transformed into state 41 from the 1st low speed dig tracking state 44.
On the other hand, in step S30, be not pressed, then enter step 850 if be judged as main switch 21.In step 850, judge whether to set up, be whether chaufeur has carried out the operation of brake operating, cancellation switch 24, gear positions has been transformed into any one operation in the operation of the position outside the shelves (D shelves) that travel for any one condition in above-mentioned (b)~(d) condition.If based on signal from brake switch 7, operating switch 10 and gear position sensor 1 input, being judged as chaufeur has carried out the operation of brake operating, cancellation switch 24, gear positions has been transformed into any one operation in the operation of the position outside the shelves (D shelves) that travel, then enter step S60, do not carry out any operation if be judged as, then enter step S70.
In step S70, the signal based on from 4 inputs of vehicle headway sensor judges whether to having lost preceding driving.Lost preceding driving if be judged as, then entered step S60, do not lost preceding driving, then entered step S80 if be judged as.In step S80, whether judge by the car speed sensor 3 detected speed of a motor vehicle less than 5km/h.If be judged as the speed of a motor vehicle less than 5km/h, then enter step S60, be not less than 5km/h if be judged as the speed of a motor vehicle, then enter step S90.
In step S60, remove adaptive cruise control.Thus, to be transformed into the action readiness for action from the 1st low speed dig tracking state 44 be state 42 for adaptive cruise control.
In step S90, judge whether stop the maintenance system automatically is in the action readiness for action.If be judged as in the 1st low speed dig tracking state 44, stop the maintenance system automatically and be closed, stop maintained switch 13 automatically and stop the maintenance system automatically and become the action readiness for action but press because of chaufeur, then enter step S100.In step S100, carry out the adaptive cruise control under the 2nd low speed dig tracking state 45.That is, adaptive cruise control is transformed into the 2nd low speed dig tracking state 45 from the 1st low speed dig tracking state 44.
Fig. 7 is illustrated in adaptive cruise control to be under the situation of the 2nd low speed dig tracking state 45, utilizes the diagram of circuit of the contents processing that control setup 20 carries out.If adaptive cruise controls transitions to the 2nd low speed dig tracking state 45, the then processing of control setup 20 beginning step S200.In step S200, whether judge by the car speed sensor 3 detected speed of a motor vehicle more than or equal to 40km/h.If be judged as the speed of a motor vehicle more than or equal to 40km/h, then enter step S210, carry out the adaptive cruise control under the high-speed region operating state 43.
On the other hand, in step S200,, then enter step S220 if be judged as the speed of a motor vehicle less than 40km/h.In step S220, judge whether main switch 21 is pressed.Be pressed if be judged as main switch 21, then enter step S230.In step S230, the adaptive cruise control system is closed.Thus, adaptive cruise control is transformed into state 41 from the 2nd low speed dig tracking state 45.
On the other hand, in step S220, be not pressed, then enter step S240 if be judged as main switch 21.In step S240, the signal based on from 4 inputs of vehicle headway sensor judges whether to having lost preceding driving.Lose preceding driving if be judged as, then entered step S250.In step S250, whether judge by the car speed sensor 3 detected speed of a motor vehicle more than or equal to the regulation speed of a motor vehicle.Making the regulation speed of a motor vehicle here, is 3km/h.If be judged as the speed of a motor vehicle more than or equal to 3km/h, then enter step S380, if be judged as, then enter step S260 less than 3km/h.
In step S260, become 0km/h in order to make the speed of a motor vehicle, send the action command of hydraulic brake (not shown) to brake actuator 6.As mentioned above, in the 2nd low speed dig tracking state 45,, then remove adaptive cruise control and become readiness for action if lost preceding driving.But, under the situation of the speed of a motor vehicle, be judged as and in stopping the control process of vehicle, lost preceding driving less than 3km/h, make hydraulic brake action (under the situation that hydraulic brake has moved, action being continued) in order to stop vehicle.In addition,, then send the instruction of the braking of removing hydraulic brake, make EPKB 9 actions simultaneously to brake actuator 6 if vehicle stops.
Among the step S270 after step S260, judge whether stop retentive control automatically moves, promptly utilizes the vehicle of EPKB 9 to stop retentive control whether moving.Stop the retentive control action if be judged as the vehicle that utilizes EPKB 9, then enter step S380,, then be back to step S260, proceed the action of hydraulic brake if be judged as not action.
Promptly, in the adaptive cruise control system of first embodiment, if the 2nd low speed dig tracking state 45 times, driving before this car tracing and slow down and stop, the hydraulic brake (not shown) that uses during then from car retardation switches to EPKB 9, keeps stopping of vehicle.After stopping, vehicle also make hydraulic brake continue to make for a long time in the brake actuator 6 and flow through electric current, but, can prevent to continue to flow through electric current in the brake actuator 6 in the method for action by when stopping vehicle, switching to EPKB 9.
In step S240, do not lose preceding driving if be judged as, then enter step S280.In step S280, judge whether to set up, be whether chaufeur has carried out the operation of brake operating, cancellation switch 24, gear positions has been transformed into any one operation in the operation of the position outside the shelves (D shelves) that travel for any one condition in above-mentioned (b)~(d) condition.If based on signal from brake switch 7, operating switch 10 and gear position sensor 1 input, being judged as chaufeur has carried out the operation of brake operating, cancellation switch 24, gear positions has been transformed into any one operation in the operation of the position outside the shelves (D shelves) that travel, then enter step S380, do not carry out any operation if be judged as, then enter step S290.
In step S290, judge whether stop the maintenance system automatically closes.As mentioned above,,, perhaps stop the maintenance system automatically and take place unusually, then stop to keep system closing automatically if driver's operation stops maintained switch 13 automatically stopping automatically under the state that the maintenance system opens.Automatically stop to keep system closing if be judged as, then enter step S340,, then enter step S300 if be judged as the state of staying open.
In step S300, judge that the vehicle that utilizes EPKB 9 stops retentive control and whether moves.As mentioned above, if driving and slow down and stop before the car tracing then switches to EPKB 9 from hydraulic brake (not shown), keep the halted state of vehicle.Stop retentive control action if be judged as the vehicle that utilizes EPKB 9, then enter step S310, stop retentive control and do not move if be judged as, vehicle is in motoring condition, then is back to step S200.
In step S310, make the vehicle that utilizes EPKB 9 stop retentive control and have precedence over adaptive cruise control, proceed the maintenance that stops of vehicle.In the adaptive cruise control system of first embodiment, if open stopping the maintenance system automatically, and carry out under the state of adaptive cruise control, car retardation also stops, then utilize the vehicle of EPKB 9 to stop retentive control, but stop retentive control during, do not remove adaptive cruise control yet, keep operating state.But, because under the state that this vehicle stops, as long as the starting of chaufeur intention is indeterminate, just proceed to stop retentive control, so even the preceding driving that stops starting can not carried out the starting of this vehicle because of adaptive cruise control yet, make vehicle to stop retentive control preferential.
Among the step S320 after step S310,, judge whether chaufeur operates acceleration pedal (not shown) based on signal from accelerator pedal sensor 2 inputs.Be not operated if be judged as acceleration pedal, then be back to step S310, if acceleration pedal is operated, the starting of chaufeur intention is clear and definite, then enters step S330.
In step S330, remove the action of EPKB 9, make this vehicle start by adaptive cruise control, the detection that makes the radar installation that vehicle headway sensor 4 comprised simultaneously is apart from expansion.Fig. 8 be the expression detection that enlarged radar installation apart from the time the figure of an example of detection range, the part of blacking is the detection range after enlarging.By enlarge detecting distance, though in preceding driving starting and and be under the vehicle headway condition of enlarged between this vehicle of halted state, also can utilize radar installation to detect preceding driving reliably.That is, can prevent to have lost preceding driving and remove adaptive cruise and control.If the detection that makes the radar installation that vehicle headway sensor 4 comprised then is back to step S200 apart from expansion.
In step S290, judge among the step S340 that stops automatically entering after keeping system closing, whether judge by the car speed sensor 3 detected speed of a motor vehicle more than or equal to 5km/h.If be judged as the speed of a motor vehicle more than or equal to 5km/h, then enter step S350, if be judged as the speed of a motor vehicle, then enter step S380 less than 5km/h.In step S380, remove adaptive cruise control.Thus, to be transformed into the action readiness for action from the 2nd low speed dig tracking state 45 be state 42 for adaptive cruise control.
In step S350, judge to stop automatically keeping whether the reason of system closing is to stopping the operation of maintained switch 13 automatically by chaufeur.Close and stop the maintenance system automatically if be judged as, then enter step S370, take place to close unusually to stop the maintenance system automatically, then enter step S360 if be judged as owing to stopping the maintenance system automatically owing to driver's operation stops maintained switch 13 automatically.
